It's a much more complex problem, though, at least until we have fully 
cut over to the dynamic ELF linkage stuff (which would allow 
constructing stuff in memory and leaving them there.)  I'm trying to 
figure out how to get from here to there still.

The risk, too, is that you end up with something that ends up looking a 
whole lot like the complex menu system, which seems too difficult for 
people to use.

I'm open for ideas, though.
